Problem solved...:)

Hi all,

Just a quickie to say that my car started to run a bit rough 2 days ago! The car stalled at junctions and had a intermittent loss of power low down in the rev range. So i checked all the norm and i cleaned the 'Stepper Motor' and it now runs like a dream again!

Good old stepper motor...

Take care in these slippery conditions!

yep, gave mine a quick clean over the weekend as the car was hiccupping slightly - sorted...

twerlie, thought you were flogging yours? remember thinking what a stunning example it was from the classifieds.

I was going to get a 500 but after looking around for about 8 Months and driving about 14 different ones, i decided to keep mine for the flowing reasons:

1. Very smooth engine compared to 500's that i drove
2. Doesn't burn as much oil as a 500
3. Easier to drive fast
4. Rare interior and exterior colour
5. Very reliable in the 3 years i have owned her
6. etc

So i have spent the past 4 months modifying her with the following:

1. New carpet
2. Full respray
3. Probably the best stereo install in a TVR
4. Origin b2
5. Bluetooth hands free phone kit
6. Aluminium rear vents (to replace plastic ones)
7. Leven Technology Pedals, Switch gear, cigarette lighter, blower switch, gear leaver surround, etc...
8. Afterburner rear lights
9. Cleaned up engine bay with 'Gunk cleaner'

Modifications still in the process:

1. Magnecor HT lead set (ACT)
2. New plugs (ACT)
3. New Distributor cap, rotor arm and Coil (ACT)
4. Blue silicon hose set (ACT)
5. Stage 2 engine upgrade from ACT with twin plenum etc...!
6. Rolling road set-up with Mark Adams Chip

What do you think? She now looks, drives and sounds better than new!
